Success is a collection of problems solved.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.
